HISTORY AND TRADITION

The mineral variscite was named after the place where the first specimens were discovered in 1837 - the Saxon province of Variscia. It is a translucent stone of hydrothermal origin. It forms in caves with rivers or other sources of moisture. The external resemblance led to another name for the stone - "California turquoise". According to jewelry classification, variscite is a semi-precious stone or an ornamental stone.Many people still dream of knowing and finding a way to achieve all-encompassing happiness. Variscite is a gift of nature that helps improve quality of life.

Despite the fact that the age of crystalline formations is hundreds of centuries, the description and name of the mineral were only introduced in the first half of the XNUMXth century. century. Johan Breithaupt, a scientist and mineralogist, conducted research on a blue-green gemstone found at a Saxon deposit. The analysis showed that the natural stone is a hydrated aluminum phosphate from the variscite group, named after its location.

The mineral in bluish-green tones has been known to humanity since ancient times. Judging by the jewelry found by archaeologists, they were made in the Neolithic period, once people learned to work with stone.

• Prehistoric fragments of products were found in Catalonia, in the vicinity of Gavà. Pliny the Elder also described how the local inhabitants adorned themselves with decorations made from green beads found in local mines.
• The ancient mines in Barcelona represent a complex structure of mines in which mineral extraction was actively carried out during the Neolithic.
• Around 500 years before our era, pebbles similar to turquoise were considered a kind of currency. Variscite necklaces were used for trade exchange in Southern European markets.

HOW TO DISTINGUISH A FAKE?

• Rare, collectible gems are not easy to find on store shelves. Imitation is most commonly used in products. The mineral is sometimes confused with turquoise.To avoid confusion, it is better to know their main differences - transparency and the color of the veins.

In addition, turquoise is less transparent than variscite.
• The mineral has low density and hardness; if you press it with a sharp object, a mark will remain. Vivid, unnatural shades of stone also suggest an imitation.
• Dyeing inexpensive minerals, often of synthetic origin, passes them off as "California turquoise". In this case, a natural gemstone can be distinguished from a fake using chemical analysis.
